Folk rock artist Tom Freeman aka Covey has joined the Rise Records (The Acacia Strain, Mayday Parade, Spiritbox) family.
The UK born multi-instrumentalist now based out of Brooklyn revealed the news yesterday with the announcement that his “Tour To Nobody” sessions would be released through the label as an album. “Tour To Nobody” was a 12-day tour that had Freeman performing outside of “quirky tourist destinations” and posting the footage to TikTok. The album comes out October 30 and features new live recordings of songs from his 2019 album Some Cats Live, Some Cats Die..
Listen to the first song from the sessions, “Jupiter”, below.
Taken from his Facebook page, “Combining often unusual, yet emotionally resonant lyrics, distinctly raw vocals and an indie-pop sensibility, Covey is the creation of British multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Tom Freeman. Upon relocating to the US and landing in Boston for school in 2010, Covey was eventually conceived and managed to connect to listeners through Freeman’s own brand of folk-rock which drew inspiration from artists like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Smiths and Nick Drake.”
Covey has done shows with Augustana, Briston Maroney, Jacksonville Kid, Surf Rock Is Dead, and Weather.
